Fall brings rats to farmsteads as they seek winter shelter. Each Iowa rat eats 25 pounds of food yearly, targeting grains and livestock feeds. Entomologist Earle Raun urges farmers to ratproof by cleaning up and removing hiding places, mowing weedy areas, and creating trenches to dispose of trash, with regular covering of waste.
